Description: The ZX Spectrum is an 8-bit home computer that was developed by Sinclair Research. It was released in the United Kingdom on 23 April 1982, and became Britain's best-selling microcomputer. Referred to during development as the ZX81 Colour and ZX82, it was launched as the ZX Spectrum to highlight the machine's colour display, which differed from the black and white display of its predecessor, the ZX81. The Spectrum was released as six different models, ranging from the entry level with 16 KB RAM released in 1982 to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 KB RAM and built in floppy disk drive in 1987; altogether they sold over 5 million units worldwide (not counting unofficial clones).

Description: When David J. Heerensperger took over the Pay 'N Pak, it was an eight-year-old, $15 million-a-year company. By the time the reins were passed to his successor 20 years later in 1989, he had grown Pay 'N Pak to a $400 million-a-year company. Instead of simply retiring, Heerensperger decided to start over. Just two months after resigning from Pay 'N Pak, he incorporated his new company, calling it Eagle Hardware & Garden, resurrecting the name of the hardware store he founded in Spokane in 1959. With a motto of "More of Everything," Eagle's stores were bigger than the competition, averaging 120k square feet. Heerensperger grew Eagle rapidly, taking the company public inside of two years, and by 1995, was a $650 million-a-year company.
